Unboxing a Webley & Scott Imperial 20g SxS

[@william3413]

Looks a really nice shotgun, what did it cost ?

[@stillarifleman]

@william3413 Around 2k. I don't know what they are now. It's been in constant use, and I've found it to be a solid workhorse as well as eye-catching!

[@richardt.4224]

The shotgun its self looks OK, but would like to know, is it just 20ga barrels on the same 12ga action? Or is the whole 20ga a scaled down version of a 12ga! But not keen on the carry case, I think a sensible hard lockable case would have been cheaper and better.

[@stillarifleman]

@richardt.4224 I can't answer that question, I don't work for them! I'm sure cheap plastic is fine, but the supplied one is much classier and offers great protection.

nice video and nice gun , seriously considering one myself although in 12g , can I ask from what I am lead to believe as standard they are manual safety catch on them is there the adaptor to convert it to auto safe in the package or not ?

[@stillarifleman]

It's manual, you'd have to speak to W&S to see if automatic safety is a possibility. 👍🏼

It really is a very nice gun, I have been considering buying one after shooting better with a cheap sxs than my more expensive O/U. Good to hear it stands up, I do have quite large hands though, do you find the grip fills the palm well?

[@stillarifleman]

I'm out shooting now. Yes, it's fits very well, my hands are medium-sized, I suppose. Find a Gun shop and have a feel of it. You'll know for sure then. 👍🏼

[@grahamedwards9920]

I’m really glad you did the video but a little too much time on the gun case and instruction manual and not actually assembling the gun was ( for me ) a bit of a let down. It’s certainly an interesting gun - presumably 28” barrels?

[@stillarifleman]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm new to posting my own stuff. I'd assumed anyone watching would know how to assemble one. I'm due to go filming later this week and will make that a part of it. Thanks again.

[@stillarifleman]

Oh, 28", very fast handling.

@@stillarifleman thanks! I’m beginning to feel my age and haven’t shot a SxS for decades but I rather fancy going back to where it all started and they’re a darn sight easier to carry than some of the O/U’s and prettier into the bargain😄. Good luck with future posts.

Has it got ejectors ?

[@stillarifleman]

It certainly has. It's a keeper this one 👍🏼
